Following on from the lease deals thread, and the bargain C1 on freedom contracts. I got to thinking that this could be a good solution for me, as I'm about to get an MX-5 but still wanted something small and practical for every day pottering about.

I had considered a K11 Micra, but the idea of something new, with aircon, warranty, etc really appeals. So I started looking at the C1, and then saw that a Hyundai i10 could be had for about £20 per month more.

So which would you choose and why? Head is saying i10, but I feel a real pull towards a C1.

wife tried c1/aygo/107 and then i10. bought the i10.

i10 4 cyl engine is a lot less buzzy than the c1 and a myriad of other standard equipment (surch as a glove box wink) but also 4 electric windows, more room in the back, air con, reasonable boot etc.

i found the i10 drove better than the others with better suspension and the engine seemed much smoother and pokier (i used to love my 3 cyl charade gtti but the c1 just seemed harsh and buzzy).

but you pays your money and takes your choice..
